Challenge
Habit formation can be a tedious process that often fails to provide the feedback and rewards necessary to keep people motivated. The challenge was to design an app that would help users stay motivated on their journey to building new habits. Incorporating the aspects of the psychological loop associated with habit formation, the cue, the action, and the reward, will allow users to success form new habits.
Solution
Hey Bud is a habit tracker app that allows users to watch their bud grow along with them. Users get to choose a plant that they get to watch grow, and as they complete their habits, their bud will sprout. Completing tasks will also reward users with badges and coins that they can use to personalize their bud. The app allows users to set reminders for these habits; this feature functions as the cue prompting users to complete a desired action. The action is up to the users, who can input any habit they want to improve. Finally, witnessing the growth of their bud, the coins and badges all function as the reward, which will motivate users to continue using the app to continue their progress.
